Dodgers pitcher tyler Glasnow Throws Down Dunk at Lakers Game Amidst Cross-Franchise Festivity
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow surprised fans with a powerful two-handed slam dunk before the Los Angeles Lakers’ November 6th game against the San Antonio Spurs.The 6’8″ right-hander showcased his athleticism alongside teammate Josh Snell, delighting early-arriving spectators at Crypto.com Arena.
The display of dual-sport ability comes as the Dodgers and Lakers franchises experience heightened synergy following the recent acquisition of Dodgers owner Mark Walter as the controlling owner of the NBA team.This connection is further solidified through reciprocal promotional nights – Dodgers Night at Kings games and Kings Night at Dodger Stadium – and frequent player appearances at each other’s events. Dodgers players Phillips, Call, and Snell, along with Ben Casparius, were also in attendance Thursday night to watch the Los Angeles Kings face the Florida Panthers.
The growing relationship between the Dodgers, Lakers, and Kings reflects a broader trend of cross-promotion and fan engagement within Los Angeles’ professional sports landscape. Walter’s ownership stake in both the Dodgers and Lakers is expected to further strengthen thes bonds, creating new opportunities for collaborative marketing and community outreach. The Dodgers recently celebrated thier 2023 World Series championship with the Lakers, a moment captured and shared widely on social media by both teams.
